Hi. I’m Cindy Moorman. Visual artist. Among other things. I call my work Scripted Gatherings. Carefully composed playing fields where I temporarly connect people, objects and ideas. To search for shapes that give form to connection. Because how does connection actually happen? Suddenly there’s something in-between. Like in tug-of-war. But what? When does connection begin or end?
Within my temporary choreographed spaces, I shape every element: from hand-tufted carpets, embroidered sashes and painted scripts to colorful stamps. Each element invites participation—enticing you to think along, search, and engage
Perhaps you’ve already stepped into my work. At the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, Museum Voorlinden, Museum Arnhem, Paradiso Amsterdam, Kunstverein Ahlen, or elsewhere. Or maybe you’ve heard me speak about it on NPO Radio 4, Kunst is Lang, Amsterdam FM Tenjinyama Studio (JP) or in Het Parool. If so, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Not yet? Or curious for more?
Two of my works: ‘the Conga Line Dancers, the Explorers, the Observers and the Team’ and ‘the Guide’ can be seen permanently at Levvel and De Alliantie at Tafelbergweg 8 in Amsterdam.
I look forward to crossing paths somewhere along the way. Or drop me a line and we’ll set our own place and time.
My ongoing search is regularly made possible with the support of the Mondriaan Fund, Amsterdam Fund for the Arts, Stichting Stokroos, PPO Development Budget, Niemeyer Foundation, Amarte Fund, and many others. Endless thanks to them!
